Need to post another bday.
I really need to write a post about Big Sis' birthday, her's was the day before Bub's. I want to post pics as well and I'm being too lazy to upload them to my computer. Plus, my mom actually took some so I need them emailed from her too. So basically what this post is all about is the fact that I am lazy and a procrastinator. Now you really know the real me. Stay tuned, hopefully I'll get it done before her next birthday.

The other woman.
Is she thinking of him today?
It's been two years since she first saw his face, heard his cry. Did she hold him close and kiss his little cheeks. Did she think, "He looks like me"? Did he wrap his tiny fingers around one of her own? Did she cry? Did she tell him of her plan? What was going through her mind that day he was born?
Today, on this anniversary of his birth, I'm thinking of her. I have an ache in my heart for her. I know she loved him, she had a plan for him. Does she still feel the weight of his tiny body in her arms? Is she aching today too? May God give her peace, knowing he is growing, thriving. He is so smart and stubborn and funny and loving. Part her, part me.
Today I will give him two hugs at bedtime, an extra one for the woman who can't put her arms around him. Two kisses on his chubby, still baby-like cheeks. Two snuggles when he falls and gets a bump. I will push the trucks and throw the ball for two extra minutes, spending time playing when I have other things I could be doing, because her time is over. I will rock him a little longer, even though I know he's trying to get too big for rocking, I will rock him today for her. Because, she let him go on that day so I could have him in my arms. My son.

What God is teaching me these days.
I always know when God is trying to tell me something. The theme of my Bible study, the message at church or a song I hear all seem to point me in the same direction. Funny, these days, even "friends" facebook statuses remind me over and over.
Lately, my messages from God have been about pursuing a relationship with Him. Laying aside all of my failures, prejudice and guilt and seeking him. Putting my all before his throne and letting Him take it up for me and making something beautiful out of it. It is amazing how many times I've heard this idea over and over in the past few weeks. I hope God won't give up on me before I finally learn it. I know he won't. I appreciate the fact that He is so patient with me and how LONG it takes to get something through my head and heart.
